I have to say that I agree with this. I already have a clipboard history working for me (LaunchBar) and I don't need another one. TM picks up everything, whether copied / pasted within TM or not, and this rapidly becomes a burden. Complaints go back a very long way (see e.g. http://textmate.1073791.n5.nabble.com/Disable-the-textmate-clipboard-manager...) but have never been attended to. m.

Hallo, I work with large amounts of database-output (from 10 to 200 MB), that I usually paste into a new opened TextMate window. When it is pasted, all works as expected. But pasting takes minutes. TM freezes and it takes much, much longer than other editors I tested (VIM, Atom, VS) until the text is visible and useable. I find out, that this is caused by the Clipboard History. I never heard of this before and do not use it, because I have the Clipy-App for that. Nonetheless the size of the clipboard history file was 1.3 GB. If I clear the clipboard history (control + option + command +v and then "Clear History") everything works normally, but in my case the CH grows really fast. So once a day I have to clear the history. In my opinion there are some solutions:
- Decoupling the pasting process and the CH process. The CH process should run in background with lower priority.
- Adding a setting to deactivate the CH. But in this case everybody, who use large text insertions run into this problems.
- Limit the size of the CH. But if people rely on this, that can cause problems.
My hardware:
- Macbook Pro 2013 with i7 and 16 GB RAM
- Macbook Pro 2016 with i5 and 8 GB RAM
same behavior on booth.
